Kansas City Faces a Wrongful Death Lawsuit From the Mother of a Woman Who Was Hit by a Firetruck
The mother of a woman who died when she was hit by a firetruck in Kansas City last month has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the city, the fire department and the fire truck’s driver.
Judy Holland, the mother of 41-year-old Tami Knight, alleges in the wrongful death lawsuit filed last week that the firetruck driver was negligent, The Kansas City Star reported.
Knight was killed on Dec. 15 when the fire pumper, which was responding to a call, hit another vehicle in the city’s Westport entertainment district.
The vehicles struck Knight, who was walking on a sidewalk, before crashing into a building, police said. No one was inside the building, which partially collapsed.
